PFA Seizes 450kg Substandard Meat in Bhera
Punjab Food Authority Cracks Down on Unwholesome Meat
The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) has seized and destroyed 450 kilograms of substandard meat during a crackdown against the sale and transportation of unwholesome meat in Bhera, Sargodha. This operation was conducted on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
According to a PFA spokesperson, the meat was found on a loader rickshaw without the necessary records or slaughterhouse stamp. A veterinary doctor examined it and deemed it unfit for human consumption. Subsequently, the meat was disposed of at a designated dumping site.
Legal proceedings were initiated against three individuals, while the loader rickshaw was handed over to police. The PFA assured continued efforts to combat substandard meat and illegal slaughterhouses across Sargodha district.
Citizens are encouraged to report food-related complaints to the PFA helpline at 1223.
